Ever wonder how Mother's Day became a national holiday?Thank Ann Jarvis! Originally intended as a Mother's Friendship
Day to honor mother's whose sons were killed in the Civil War (and helped along
by Julia Ward Howe as an anti-war observance).It became moderately formalized "Mother's Day" as part of the
temperance movement, and, over time, was first recognized by the state of West
Virginia, followed by several other states.It was formally recognized, and brought back to its roots by President
Woodrow Wilson who proclaimed a National Mother's Day to honor mothers' sons
killed in war, and was made a national holiday by federal congressional law on
May 8, 1914.

Not to be outdone, the present day U.S. House of
Representatives in 2008 voted on a resolution commemorating Mother's Day.
